REPORT HAS BEEN MADE' Claimants Arc Dissatisfied With Attitude Taken by Secretary Knox. [.Special to The Tlincs-Dlapatoh.1 Washington'; April zl.?congresa '? about to tako action regarding the clalma of-.American cltizena who have guttered los? ot Cioir properly by tho Mexican rebellion, A abort lime ago the House Committee on foreign Af folra was authorized to consider; wlUi the Secretary; o? btate, what, II any. atepa should be taken towards leim besing American citizens t->r the loss? es which they had suffered. Several conferences have been hold with the Stato Department ri B?rding the mat tr, ami the committee now is able to make I'.h report to the JlouSe. In April, 1911, a battlo was fought at Agua Prlet?, a town situated in Mexico imemdiately across the Intor liatlonal boundary liti? from Oouulas, a city in tho then Territory, but now Statu of Arizona. Engaged In this battle, lighting against each other, were Mexican government, troops and insurrectionists who wero seeking to overthrow the Mexican administra? tion. As an incldnt to tho battle, many of tho ahots fired found their way acie,.?;, tho International boundary line, some of them fatally. Afterwards, In (May, 1911, nnother battle, was fought between tho Mexi? can Federal and Insurrection forces ? t Cludad Juarez, Immediately across ih? boundary line from Kl Taso, Tex., anti In this engagement shots from Mexican guns veto fired into HI Paso, Wobndlng and killing a laigo number of American?. Force >of t'ltllr.ed. At the scene of hr>th toes* battles an American military forcu was pres? ent i-ufticiont to have protected these Americans who wero Injured, but thla military force whs not utilized.1 Tho President contented hlm<-?lf with only a winning to the Mexican government and to the officers commanding tho forces in the fight not to injure Amer? icans within United States territory. Following these occurrences, the American who wer? thus Injured, and the legal representative of those who were killed. prepared their claims against the Mexican govern? ment, for dim ages end present? ed them to Secretary of State I Knc.v, together with their proor, I with the request that he present them I to the Mex'can government and press I through diplomatic (channels for pay-] ment. This tho secretary refused to I dn, and Instead, advised tho claimants I that tho American embassy ot the city! of Mexico would, upon specific request) of claimants, tile their claims wir.i tlie Mexican Foreign offle? for pre? sentation to the consultative fl-ilms commission of Mexico, hut with the distinct understanding that In pre? senting the claima to th* Mexican Foreign ottirc neither the embassy nor tho government of the Fnlted Stntes would pass UpOJI1 the propriety, equity. Justice or legality of surVi claims, and that these questions wocld be left for further consleleratlon and final deter? mination in accordance with the. rule! and principles of International law applicable and controlling, when. If at! all. It shall become necessary to con-1 Bldcr the question of formally present- I ing the complaints through diplomatic] channels as a diplomatic claim. Sec? retary Knox further informed claim? ants Oat the American embassy would do nothing more in rclatiun to their claim than to present them for filing, as before stated: thnt it would be nee. eaaary for each claimant, ?Ither per? sonally or by Rttorney, to take all other needful measures in the prem? ises, but that If the parties appearing before tho commission should he dis? satisfied with th? Unding of that tri* bunul, S3 approved or modified by tho Mexican treasury, they might pursuo ihelr Judicial remedies in the ordi? nary courts. Naturally, claimants objected to such a course of procedure. They took the position that they wero Injured in tho United States, and not in Mexico, and as th ay had never submitted themselves I to Mexican Jurisdiction nor to Mexican laws, there was no authority in inter-! national law to require them to go to I Mexico, the wrongdoer, for the trial of their cases. Duty Ik I'pon Government. Tlis claimants further contended that I the duty further rests upon tili? gov- | eminent to afford its people protection I and justice; that as to ihein It has not afforded protection, and In consequence 1 they had bten Injured, .-nil that It should afford them proper an.l effect? ual means of redress, and tha.t the only ; way this can be done In these cases Is] for the government Itself to invest!-1 gate such cases, determine the amounts due, and present and press them for payment as diplomatic claims. Because tho clnimants cannot sue the Mex'con government in our courts, and for tho reasons already pointed out. It Is Im? practicable) to .produce tho evidence or to try them before n Mexican tribunal. Tlis committee which investigated this matter Is r' lio- opinion that there. Is no principle of International law ' requiring, and that U "would be an act of Injustice to require, thcseolalmants, who were thus Injured through no fault of th;lr own. within thotr own country, within the dominion of their own laws, to go to a foreign country for the trial of their cases heforo a foreign tribunal. The committee takes issue with Secretary Knox and tha State De? partment regarding the methods which should t?e pin sued In ? hr settlement of these claims. It is also of the opinion, I stripped of taohnlcailtlej and diplo? matic nlcotles. that tho Americans who i i lost their property as described would j fare very poorly should they proceed along tho llnrs suggested hy Socrotary Knox.
